Eurosteel
Stainless Steel in Elsies River

Euro Steel specialize in the stocking, duplex stainless grade, processing and distribution of corrosion resistant metals such as stainless steel, hard wearing steels and aluminium.

The group is predominantly positioned in South Africa but has operations in neighbouring countries, all of which combine to actively service Southern Africa and beyond. There is no doubt that our local experience and distribution infrastructure, coupled with our reputation for only representing reputable Mills and stocking only quality products is a powerful combination and the foundation of our success. Our core values are: integrity, care, commitment, passion and a win-win approach to all interactions with our stakeholders. These values inform and underpin all that we do, and as a result, at Euro Steel we pride ourselves in having established the reputation of supplier of choice in most of the major centers in South Africa. We attribute our service record to the quality and ethic of the people we employ and the relationships and partnerships we have formed with our clients and our supply chain. Our vision is to remain a relevant and sustainable organisation in a rapidly changing world, where we can add value to our stakeholders and the nation as a whole. We will continue to partner with people to create exceptional value throughout our supply chain and play our part in developing people and contributing positively to the creation of a just and equitable society. Stainless Steel performs better than ordinary steel in high temperature and cryogenic applications. Stainless Steel is used where both the properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are required. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal's internal structure. The sizes of chromium atoms and their oxides are similar, they pack neatly together on the surface of the metal, forming a stable layer only a few atoms thick. If the metal is cut or scratched and the passive film is disrupted, more oxide will quickly form and recover the exposed surface, protecting it from oxidative corrosion. The passive film requires oxygen to self-repair, so stainless steels have poor corrosion resistance in low-oxygen and poor circulation environments. It is inexpensive and will not rust; this natural resource will never ever run out as 8% of the earth’s crust is made up of it. We stock Aluminium in a variety of forms ranging from Sheet, plate, coil and extrusions making it useful for a wide variety of applications. In contrast to iron, aluminium oxide is the same size as aluminium. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon and Zinc.
